The new University of Leicester iGEM 2013 team is fully formed and ready to go!

The new team will be building on the 2012 quest to develop a bacteria to bio degrade polystyrene along with two other awesome arms to the project which can be seen on the new blog. This year, there is a new supervisor to help with the project, Dr Andrew Jamieson a Lecture in Organic chemistry, along with myself staying with the team as a advisor and the Lab Leader, Luke Thompson, also helping with the team.

There will be many chances for you to help the new team, with a new Citizen Science project being launched soon. Check out the new 2013 blog at http://uoligem.blogspot.co.uk/ where you can keep up to date with the progress of the new team and see how you can help.
